City crew destroys garden

Typed text: "For the past 10 yrs this 'Jewel of the Green Streets Program' garden has been a beloved neighbourhood and community green space and is the poster child for the City of Vancouver's program. It is featured in most of their promotional material which reaches an international audience (ie; Green Street website Home Page photo, GS official brochure photo, GS newsletter header photo, video and media articles). Without consultation or notice the City Sewer Dept. destroyed at least one quarter of the plants and maybe more to come, even though on Wed. July 15th we were promised no plants would be damanged. If we were given notice a few months ago, we could have carefully removed and fostered plants out until construction was completed." Handwritten: "There is no emergency for this project."
